River Soar to be searched again for missing woman in Leicestershire
Małgorzata Wnuczek was last seen taking a bus home from work into the city centre 17 years ago
Specialist divers will search the River Soar this week as investigations continue into the disappearance of Małgorzata Wnuczek.
Teams with sonar equipment searched the water, between the bridges in Mill Lane and Upperton Road, in June.
The searches over Monday 16th October and Wednesday 18th October are being undertaken to locate any remaining unidentified objects within the riverbed.
Malgorzata, a Polish national who was living in Leicester, disappeared on 31 May 2006 and her whereabouts remain unknown.
A 39-year-old man who was arrested in the Greater Manchester area on 6 June in connection with the investigation remains on police bail.
Detective Chief Inspector Jenni Greenway, the senior investigating officer, said: “During the previous search of the river, some items were found within the riverbed that we were unable to identify.
“This next phase of the investigation is to establish what they are and whether they are anything that could provide us with information as to what happened to Malgorzata.
“I would still ask that anyone who is able to help with our enquiries, but has not yet contacted police, to do so. It’s never to late to come forward.”
